Research involving humans has been part of medicine for centuries. In the nineteenth century, the adoption of the experimental method in both science and medicine generated significant progress in research involving humans. Questionable research practices occurred all over the world and there has been some attempt to regulate human experimentation. Thus, research ethics evaluation was emerged which is a process by which a group of people representing different perspectives meet to review the ethical acceptability of a research project. The process used to conduct the evaluation involves two steps: ethical deliberation and decision-making. This evaluation was conducted by ethical committees (EC) named also Institutional Review Board (IRB) which are independent and multi-disciplinary organisms responsible for ensuring that medical experimentation and human subject research are carried out in an ethical manner in accordance with national and international law with public representation. Therefore, the goals of this workshop is to first define different types of Ethical committees and precise their roles then to describe the submission process of a research protocol to an ethical committee with practical aspect using case studies.
